is there any active translator for this series?
after all Jonathanasdf listed as inactive translator.
i hope this series translation will progress quite well after all this quite interesting similar with keima in TWOGK+ fighting.

Most light novels will get translated to English once anime aired. I'm quite sure not many cared about the likes of IS and Itsuka Tenma no Kurousagi until anime aired (there were already translation, but the pace was really slow, then it got 10x boost once anime aired).

I found him on jcafe, and he said he wouldn't be able to translate since he was working over the summer.

However, I at least the rest of chapter two is up. And I managed to get him to spoil up to chap 5:

Chapter 3

Spoiler:

After 10 harsh days of training, he finally got the good end in the game, and they progressed onto training on real life girls. The target was Tama-chan sensei, and with Reine's help (he has a mini transmitter in his ear, and a mosquito-like camera follows him around) and the magic words "marriage" he manages to snag her... but the effect was too strong, and so he excuses himself and dashes away. Just as he reached a corner, he crashed straight into Tobiichi. It was white. Kotori then forces him to practice with Tobiichi - "Will you go out with me?" "I don't mind." "WHATTTT?!" Just then, there was a spacequake, and Tobiichi runs off, and Kotori calls Shidou back to the ship.

This time the spirit appeared in the school - which was lucky for Shidou because the AST couldn't fight inside the narrow corridors, so they could only wait for the spirit to come out. This let Shidou approach the spirit without them noticing or getting caught in the crossfire. Kotori tries to send advice to Shidou about what to say, but that almost causes him to be killed. Finally ignoring their advice he said what he wanted to say. "I just want to talk to you. I just want you to know, that... I do not reject your existence." She then asks him for a name, and finally he came up with Tohka, because he first met her on the 10th, which is Tohka in Japanese. While the mood was good, Kotori forces Shidou to invite Tohka on a date. Although she didn't know what a date was, Tohka accepted.

Just as they were finally able to talk to each other, and as Tohka started to trust humans a bit more, AST decided that they couldn't wait anymore, and started to destroy the building in order to drive the spirit out. Through the wreckage Tobiichi saw Shidou, so she ignored the orders and charged in. Through the shockwave of the two clashing, Shidou was blown out through the now broken wall and lost contact with Tohka.

Chapter 4

Spoiler:

Shidou went to school as normal... but of course since the building was destroyed there was no school. On his way back, he wandered past the place where he first met Tohka. As he was lost in thought, he heard a voice: "Hey, Shidou... don't ignore me!" "Huh? T-Tohka!? W-why are you here?" "You were the one who invited me, Shidou. Let's go on the date." It turns out that after she retreated to the different dimension yesterday, for the very first time she had wanted to come to this world by her own will, and for some reason that didn't trigger a spacequake. She also doesn't know what kind of existence she is, and says that she can't even control when she gets sent to the human world. They then proceed to go on a date, after Tohka altered her dress to look like a school uniform. Since there was no spacequake, at the beginning neither the AST nor Ratatoskr knew she had come to this world, but by chance both parties saw them during the date. Kotori then started helping with their date in the shadows - even trying to lead them to a love hotel, but Shidou backs out. Tohka was first surprised at the number of people there were (since everyone was in the shelters when she appeared before), but gradually got used to them, and learned that the amount of people that tried to kill her was the minority. Shidou noted that like this, no matter how you looked at it she was just a normal cute girl. Under more of Kotori's "encouragements", they finally held hands.

Chapter 5

Spoiler:

Guided by Kotori, they reached a small garden on a hill that overlooked the city which was dyed with the sunset. "I had fun today. I never knew that the world was this kind, this fun, this beautiful... Now I can understand a bit about their - AST's - actions. Shidou... it really is better... if I didn't exist." "That's... not true...! Then... just stay in this world!" "... Is it really okay for me to live?" "Yes!" "Is it okay for me to stay in this world?" "That's right!" "... But the only person that can say that is probably Shidou." "I don't care about that!! Even if they reject you, I will accept you even more than that!" Shidou extends his hand towards Tohka. "Hold my hand! For now... just this is fine...!" "Shidou..."

Just as their hands touched each other, Shidou suddenly had a bad feeling. "Tohka!" Shidou lunged towards Tohka and pushed her down.

At that moment, a bullet shot through him. "...Shidou...?" "Shi...dou..." "aaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHH" It was impossible after all. For a moment, she had thought that it might've been alright to live in this world. If Shidou was here, things might've been able to work out. However, it was impossible after all. "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - Sandalphon - The Last Sword [Harvanhervu]" (I have no idea how to spell it or what it refers to)

I think I'll refrain from writing anymore... I know that's evil, but it really is so good that you should wait for a proper translation! Reading a summary might satisfy your urges for the moment but you will feel horrible later.

This LN already have green-lit approval for anime, although I'm not really sure who the Voice Actors and when the airing date are.

Date A Live anime announcement was around the same time as Campione!, while Campione!'s VAs info already released (no airing date too, but I'm 70% sure in Summer, btw), we got nothing about Date A Live (no airing date or VAs info..).

forget tsundere... she's straight up 100% tsun.. and 0% dere...
The only person allowed to be like that is me... and me only... not someone i am reading about.. :X

I bet if her "brother" got hurt, she wouldnt even shed a tear... probably would kick him while he's bleeding going you idiot, why didnt you dodge.

She's starting to remind me of Shiraume from ben-to... someone i really hated in that series.

I agree that her commander mode is incredibly annoying, but I am curious about how she'll react to her brother getting hurt. If she reacts like you think, then I hope one of the spirits drops a bridge on her (lol). However, I'm really hoping for a panicked, crying reaction that would affirm her affection for her brother. Of course, it is Japanese, and tsun-tsun characters are really popular over there.

i dont think thats true..

You need the Dere part to addon to the tsun for it to be popular.

Maybe i just dont know her well enough because all we got is less then half the first vol. and im just prebaised on her character.

But seriously... if that was my little sister, id tell Tohka, can u bitch slap my annoying sister arround a bit in your goddess mode and then crazy glue her pony tails to the white ones so they never fall off...

I agree that they generally have some dere mixed in, but characters like Sera (Kore wa Zombie) and Louise (ZnT) who constantly rag on, insult, and beat the male are annoyingly common and popular. And since the Japanese audience is what the authors aim at, that's the kind of character that will keep showing up for awhile. Thankfully she doesn't seem to be a conquering target right now.

Adding a disclaimer, I do like tsunderes, I just prefer dere-dere characters, or those who at least only act tsun when the character deserves it.
